Schofield, Latrese Davis

Tenure Summary

Latrese Davis Schofield has worked for the Georgia Department of Corrections since at least 2005, holding a series of administrative and support roles before moving into facility leadership. After stints as a Residential Housing Coordinator for Mental Health Management (2005) and a Medical Reprieve Coordinator (2010), Schofield transferred to the Metro Reentry Facility in DeKalb County in 2017 as a Business Support Analyst III; she remained in that classification through 2024, with salary ranging from $43,466 to $80,436. In January 2025 she was promoted to Deputy Warden of the Metro Reentry Facility, and on May 1, 2025, she became Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment — a position she still holds. According to Georgia Prisoners’ Speak records, 11 deaths have been attributed to Schofield’s leadership tenure, all at the Metro Reentry Facility. No lawsuits naming Schofield as a defendant were found in the GPS database.

What happened on their watch

Metro Reentry Facility (Deputy Warden / Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment, 2025–present)

GPS records document 11 deaths at the Metro Reentry Facility during Schofield’s tenure as deputy warden. The deaths span from March 30, 2025, to April 13, 2026, and involve men ranging in age from 46 to 74. Seven of the 11 are classified under cause category 1 (predominantly natural causes, based on coroner findings), while four fall under category 6 (cause not specified in the available notes). Among those with detailed records, several shared severe chronic illnesses: Harden Millard Walker (70, died March 30, 2025) had end-stage liver failure, diabetes, and hypertension; Robert Rodriguez Johnson (46, died January 1, 2026) had a history of strokes, a pacemaker, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension; Rodney Corbin (55, died October 23, 2025) was wheelchair-bound after a recent amputation and had uncontrolled diabetes, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease; Stephen Mott (52, died October 20, 2025) had deep vein thrombosis, COPD, and hepatitis C, and was reportedly noncompliant with medication for weeks, according to cellmates; Wilson Beavers (66, died October 10, 2025) had end-stage renal disease on dialysis, congestive heart failure, and metastatic lung cancer; and John Whitfield (61, died October 5, 2025) was in hospice care for metastatic stage‑4 lung cancer and was found unresponsive in a medical bed without an onsite nurse present. The remaining deaths — Cedric Clement Pierce (61), Samuel Dennis Hunt (64), Donald Woods (65), Sammy Bernard Palmer (54), and Willie James Johnson (74) — lack publicly available cause‑of‑death notes.

Beyond the 11 deaths directly attributed, GPS intelligence records document a separate fatality at the facility that prompted an investigation. In January 2026, Silas Westbrook was transferred from Washington State Prison to the Metro Reentry Facility after being hospitalized with minor injuries from a January 12 riot at Washington State Prison. According to a January 21, 2026 death notification, Westbrook suffered a medical emergency upon arrival on January 17 and was pronounced dead; the GDC’s Office of Professional Standards opened an investigation, and the GBI crime lab was tasked with determining the official cause of death. The Westbrook incident is listed as a death at the Metro Reentry Facility in Georgia Prisoners’ Speak’s intel events, but it does not appear in the capped death listing for Schofield’s tenure, so it is not included in the 11‑death total reported by GPS.
